A page in the diary "Is the plural of Precipice "Precipi"?"

I been thinking of saying this for awhile now. After posting this I'll log-off Depnet and swear off it for good.
Does the profound amount of false concern and cheesy melodrama on this site leave anyone else feeling nauseous and skeptical?
It doesnt feel right, and it certainly doesn't feel healthy. Seeing the same crap regurgitated again and again just in different vocalbulary isnt remotely helpful.
This so called "community" is nothing more than a popularity contest for mental pygmies (albeit one that has seriously perverse winning conditions...).
It's no coincidence that the most read diary entries (just check the number of hits to verify what i'm saying) are always those that are of the highest profile and frequently fueding members. Now that the fued has died down, the hits on the diaries have dropped dramatically.
This site is supposed to be therapuetic but seems to have de-evolved into 'distraction-therapy' only. This is no more theraputic than a soap-opera.
I for one believe that (and I'm being conservative..) perhaps less than two thirds of all entries are genuine. Most smack of over-exaggerated melodrama and attention seeking self-aggrandizement.
"betcha I have it worse than you!!!!" seems to be the unwritten catch-cry of Depnet.com. One-upmanship abounds: intellect, common sense and genuine sincerity does not.
The most prolific diary writers seem to think that they are somehow benefiting the broader depressed community by dribbling on & on about their frigging emotional pain and dysfunctional families... and then they actually thrive on the attention..?? WTF???
What a bog-standard Blog site this has become.
Most suffers of mental illness will never see three square meals a day much less be able to log onto a computer every 4hours and bleat to the pale unwashed masses about how hard it is to do the fucking housework amd how much they are annoyed by some member of their over-fed family.
More people around the world are suiciding than ever before. More are dying from war, disease, famine and tyranny. More children are being sold as sex slaves in Asia and eastern Europe yearly than the population of my WHOLE city. Do you think those kids will have the luxury of bleating to a cyber-audience? Most wont even survive the experience.... those that do will consider themselves even less fortunate than those that dont.
get over yourselves.
This site is good at convincing you that you are helping when you are actually doing nothing. Nothing to help yourselves, nothing to help others.
And all the while back at the Lundbeck institute this data gets collected, collated, dissected and processed as some purile, socialite wannabe Psychology student's latest attempt at passing off the re-hashed results of this website as a doctoral thesis, all so daddy will make good on his promise for a new Porsche and matching wardrobe.
Maybe I'm being too hasty. Perhaps this cesspool of self-pity called Depnet actually HAS helped me feel less depressed, because I certainly dont feel depressed right now, just really, really, REALLY angry.
I'm so angry I intend to actually do something other than log on to this infantile crap and get even more depressed by reading page after page of dull, monotonous dribble.
